Is this the exact source you compiled?  I don't think so: there's no 
function _dpmi_int in the DJGPP's library, it's __dpmi_int (with two 
leading underscores).  So this source should not even compile.  Please 
post the *exact* source that you compiled, and the exact command line
you used to compile and link it.

This EIP does NOT point to __dpmi_int.  Please run `symify' on the
traceback (see section 9.2 of the DJGPP FAQ list) and post the
results.  Tracebacks without the symbols lack a lot of info that helps
to diagnose such problems.

This indicates that you probably ran your program from another DJGPP
program (like RHIDE), or from Windows.  Is that true?  If so, please try
running it from the DOS command prompt under plain DOS, and if it 
crashes, post the traceback printed by it.
